Newcastle Jets will be out to reach the Finals Series for the first time since their 2017-18 Grand Final appearance.
Rookie head coach and A-Leagues great Mark Milligan, and the Jets are going about trying to end that run by bolstering their squad with the arrival of Irish central defender and former Dundee FC captain Joe Shaughnessy, Aussie young gun Alex Badolato, attacker Max Burgess, goalkeeper James Delianov and Joel Bertolisio from the NPL.
It is not just the experienced players, including Japanese star Kota Mizunuma and Lachie Rose, Milligan is relying on in the Hunter region. Milligan is tapping into the academy program as he looks to develop from within, with six scholarship deals handed out by the 2025 Australia Cup finalists.
Re-signed: Kota Mizunuma, Daniel Wilmering
New arrivals: Alex Badolato (Western Sydney Wanderers), Max Burgess, Joe Shaughnessy, James Delianov, Joel Bertolisio, Xavier Bertoncello (scholarship), Lucas Scicluna (scholarship), Christian Bracco (scholarship), Max Cooper (scholarship), Alex Nassiep (scholarship)
